Just want to inform you all that woolworths have a 3 for 2 offer online they have got some of the Clone Wars sets in! plus extra 10% using the code: earlybird10 But be quick I think the offer ends Sunday 19th October.
Thanks

Another bit of info!! just noticed that Toys R Us have the Twilight online at £49.99? nothing about on offer or anything: I will send a friend to the store to see if it's the same price!! (as he lives over the road)

I officialy hate woolworths.co.uk. The site is evil. I've tried to order things at least 5 times now. None of them have gone through, none of them will deliver to me, no matter what type of delivery I choose, and it keeps crashing. GRRRR_________________Jigame

Sorry to hear about your trouble, I can only say good things about Woolworths I ordered AT-TE 7675, Republic Gunship 7676 and Torrent 7674 store pick up AT-TE and Torrent I have already picked up!! still waiting on Gunship. I was a bit worried about the state of the boxes as last time I ordered from Woolworths they looked like a car had ran over them!! but this time Mint! lets hope the gunship is the same!
I think they are doing 3 for 2 in store as well at the moment!

Even More Info: The Mirror Newspaper is giving away Lego from Sat 18th Pick up at Woolworths!! Dont have any more info sorry!

I have to agree that WOolworths can be good. I ordered on line before Christmas last year and picked up the items in store. The boxes/items were perfect. However and like my own bad experience with Boots home delivery recently they were all just wrapped in black plastic. I think this kind of wrapping is asking for trouble when left to the care of third party carriers.
I wrote to Boots and suggested that they improve their service and use suitable boxes in the same manner as S@H or Amazon. They replied that they had passed the information to their carriers for action.

The in store price is the same. I couldn't resist it.

Thats me done till the new year sales and the Death Star drops back to £200.

i too bought the Twilight instore ... I'm still not sure if I want it, so it'll stay boxed and I may sell it later on.

I picked up a leaflet for a competition where you could win 1 of 12 brick built clone minifigs, via a prize draw. I would post details, but it does say you can only enter via the flyer, so you'll need a flyer to enter. One to look out for, I reckon.

Perhaps we UK folks should have 1 thread of UK deals, like there is for other territories ?_________________I used to post here as "Big Pete" but my account got screwed ...

You can pick up the small sets each day from Woolworths and Early Learning Centre stores (Smyths toy stores in Northern Ireland and Ireland). If you don't want to collect them on the day, you can send away for them by post and get the whole set delivered before Christmas!

Thankyou Don, that really helps. Before anyone PMs me, no I can't get all 12 sets for you and then post them to you in some far away land. Oh and for the record, I'm not oblivious (I just didn't know this was already being talked about, hidden away in another thread). I could tell you what I am, but you wouldn't like it at all. You can trust me on that one. _________________FBTB: The Final Chapter
See it come to an end, starting Monday 2nd February 2009.

this will be a bitter pill to swallow for those that bought Droid Gunships on the 3 for 2 deal.

I was in Woolies today, picking up my free Lego from The Mirror newspaper and I noticed that the Droid Gunship is now half price, at £17.95.

So, woulda been cheaper to buy in that deal than 3 for 2.

If only the price Woolies charged was in line with S@H and the 50% off deal woulda been VERY good!

Thanks for that i have just had a text of Woolies to say my Gunship is in store for pickup so hopefully pick a Droid Gunship up for half price!!
If anyone see's the Republic Fighter Tank Tesco exclusive on sale etc can they post it? thats the only current set I have never seen on sale or part of a deal?

I was also tempted with The Twilight good price at £50 for the size of the set!

It is not possible to deliver with the chosen delivery method to the country specified. Please choose another delivery method.
Twice in a row, on the same page, one after t'other.

Can you guys think of any reason for this. Half the time it's before I've even selected a delivery method, and I don't know why it says "to the country specified" because it's the only one you're able to choose.

Even though they shouldn't, I find that some online stores seem to design their websites for best use with a certain browser (usually Internet Explorer) and if you try and use Firefox or something, it just falls over._________________I used to post here as "Big Pete" but my account got screwed ...

Very cool.. thanks!
And good to see these sets becoming sensibly priced. These mid October deals from Woolies are becoming a regular event.

Btw Pete, after building the Twilight (Anakin's dustcart) I am still not sure it is good value even at that lower price. It is okay but needs a little customizing.
Maybe a good limited edition to keep unopened and stashed away.
Now if only Lego had popped an extra exclusive figure like Padme into it, added a few extras and finished off the inside...

Finally worked, though I have to cycle about 10 miles there and back to collect from my now closest woolies. The one closest is closing down, I went there earlier, but before the sale it was still £35 and with half off they didn't have any. But half off confectionery is cool.
Point being, I finally got it half price. Woo Hoo. Go me

And maybe browser had something to do with it, not sure._________________Jigame

Mine is still in the box ... right now, I have nowhere to put it if I built it anyway, so no point opening it ! This helps in regards to the "keep it and hope it grows in value" thought _________________I used to post here as "Big Pete" but my account got screwed ...

I have noticed that the prices don't seem to be much different on e-bay etc if open as long as you still have the box instructions! what does everyone else think? saying that i'm not opening my Mirror sets?

If talking about the Twilight.. I doubt there have been that many used sets up for sale yet to make the comparison. However as a generalization unopened or new sets will always fetch the best resale value.
